Abstract:
The effects of Electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) on the interfacial reaction and solder joints' reliability was investigated in this paper. The results show that (NiyCu1-y)3Sn4 forms at the Sn-3.5Ag/ENIG (Ni)/Cu, while (CuxNi1-x)6Sn5 forms at the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu/ENIG/Cu during the reflow. The composition and morphology of the interfacial intermetallic compounds (IMCs) show strong dependency on the Cu concentration in the solder joint. The Ni layer in the ENIG can retard the excessive growth of interfacial IMCs which is the culprit of the solder joints' failure during aging. The Au layer in ENIG exerts little influence on the interfacial reaction but reacts with Sn in the solder matrix during the reflow. In the stage of aging the Au migrates towards the interface and in turn changes the composition of the interfacial IMCs as well as the shear strength of the solder joint. ©Copyright.
